A meme comparing the reality of applying for a driver license to the polished LinkedIn narrative of applying for a driver license. In the reality image, a man walked into a driver licensing office and sat down to wait his turn to apply for a driver license. In the LinkedIn image, a woman is standing in the driver licensing office looking confident. She brought all the right documents with her. The LinkedIn-style caption says she scheduled an appointment for maximum efficiency, using D.O.L.'s online tool to develop a comprehensive documents plan and ensure a successful license application.

Which type of renewal reminder is right for you? If you’ve signed up for email reminders or have done business with us online, we’ll send your vehicle tab renewal reminders to your inbox. Advantages: It's easier, arrives faster, costs less, saves paper, and never ends up in your neighbor’s mailbox. If you previously received a full-sized letter to remind you to renew your vehicle tabs, you’ll get a postcard until you sign up for email reminders. Advantage: You can touch it?

If your last driver license renewal was in 2020, you likely renewed online due to office closures at that time. If that's the case, you'll need to visit us in person for your next renewal. Skip the line by making an appointment at dol.wa.gov!
